ZEP’S LAST RAID KEENEY’'S FEATURE | One of tho most spectacular scenes ever filmed for a motion picture is the blowing up in mid air of a mam- | moth Zeppelin in “The Zeppclin's Last Raid,” the new Thomas H. Ince su- revealing with vivid de- tail how the people of Germany are slowly but surely taking into their own | hands the rcins of government and the overthrow of im- perialism. | There is a device on the Zeppelin | by which it can be blown to atoms, | and it is the duty of every Zeppelin commander to thus dynamite his ship in the event of capture, rather than have its secrets of construction fall The big | climax of the picture, perhaps one of the greatest dramatic climaxes in the history of the screén, comes when Howard Hickman, as the commander | of the Zeppelin, throws in the switch | when the machine is thousands of feet | in the nding the war monster and its crew c ng to the earth in a mass of debris. The explosion is shown first from the interior of the Zeppelin cage and then the mammoth cigar shaped dirigible is seen in its descent through thé clouds.

There are comparatively few people in the world who wouldn’t regard it! as a great blessing to have plenty of | money come to them without working for it. | And there are few, if who could stand that. What do I mean by stand it? I mean keep their strength of char- acter, their breadth of human sym- pathy, their joy in the simple nor- | mal, wholesome pleasures of lif: There 1is one verse in the Bible which I read with greater understand- ing vear after year. It is this. “Verily 1 say unto you that a rich man shall hardly enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” Christ knew. The Two Hardest Tests of Character. The two greatest tests of char- acter in the world are too little money and too much of it To livej under the constant haras- sing pressure of poverty and not to get into debt, not to spend unwisely and not ta be embittered, is one of the two hardest things in the world. And the other is to have too much money and not enought to do. The hearts of people in that latter condition are indeed the happy hunt- ing ground for him who finds some mischief still—vou know the rest. any, | are the ones who have the How Many Marriages Too Much Money Makes Unhappy. 1 wish a census were possible of unhappy marriages which would have remained reasonably happy to the end if the parties had not had too much money and too little to occupy their energies. We all envy people who have climbed the ladder of success and Teached the top. We waste our envsy. The only really happy people in the world are the people who are climb- ing. The people who have reached the top and those who can't even gain a foothold on the lowest rung—they least N chance for true happiness. Yes, I Suppose We'd All Risk It. No one who has not seen a few ex- amples of how money can change a man's character will believe this. * They will say cynically, “I'd just like the chance.” 1 don’'t suppose I'd refuse it, my- self. And vet I can say with all hon- esty that I'm afraid of money. I want enough money so that I shan't have to think of money all the time. Noth- ing drives everything else out of your mind so much as having to con- stantly count pennies. But I am al- most as much afraid of too much money, as I am of too litfle. I suppose there are some who will laugh at that. But I think there are many others who will understand. a piece of very clever strategy, ! for Darnay whole story is one of the best things that Farnum has ever done, and it | dds, rather than detracts from the | immortality of Dicken's fame.

Few stories are known as Charles Dickens “Tale of Two Cities,” and it undoubtably one of the greatest dramatic triumphs that the scrcen has ever accomplished. William Farnum plays two roles in this thrilling tale of the French Re- volution, that of Sidney Carton, and that of Charles Darnay, two voung men who look so much alike that they are able to baffle all the police with | their close resemblance, and when the final test comes, Carton does not hesitate to use the similarity to save his friend from execution. Far Darnay is loved by the woman whom Car- | ton adores. Co uently, on the morning of the execution, Carton, by be ona Wil- Two | and and | up al and it such a will be as well | | is his veins. However, he shows her that there is something even better than that,—good American red, white d blue blood. Yet there are no attles in “Red, White and Blue Blood” except between truth and hy- pocrisy.
